I mean the reason that I don’t listen to them anymore its exactly this reason. The GPS says its faster for this way and the person ask to go to a fucked up street that only passes one car at the time (And its both ways) and I just ignore it
Tbh, uber incentivizes that afaik, because there’s no time differential. If I take a taxi driver on a slower or longer route, they get paid for both mileage and time, so it’s actually to their benefit. Of course, there’s a risk that they’re intentionally drawing it out, so you need to pay attention, but I tend to use buses/trains over livery in areas I’m unfamiliar with.

True, I really wish there was. Time is just as important as the Km/L, but they leave that to the Luck factor (Especially on big citys)
I just love my local taxis.
